Complete Middle Eastern brass silver and copper inlaid coffee set. The brass tray measures 13 " across, and is inlaid in silver and copper. There are three cartouches of Islamic script, alternating with lobed endless knot medallions. The rim has a braided endless knot pattern often seen in Celtic designs as well. The set includes six 2" "Gawa" or coffee cups (Zarfs) with green hand spun Egyptian Glass inserts, and the classically shaped 6" "Ibrik" or coffee server is tin-lined for safe usage. The covered sugar bowl measures 3" tall without the finial. The final photo shows the zarfs with a white porcelain insert instead of the spun glass. If you would prefer the porcelain inserts, please let me know when purchasing the set, and I'll make the substitution for you. This was made for the tourist trade around the turn of the 20th century.

Persian silver wine set. The floral and bird medallion design across the belly of the pitcher as well as the central medallion of the tray is a typical Persian Qajar (Victorian) era theme. The tray is marked 84 in Persian numerals, I am not familiar with the makers mark. I couldn't find a mark on any of the other pieces, so I am assuming this was intended for domestic use.
The tray is 11" by 6.5" weighs 10.4 ounces, the pitcher is 9.5" tall by 3.5" in diameter and weighs 8 ounces, the cups are 1.75" tall by 1.6" across and weigh about 1.5 ounces each. The total weight of this set is 27.3 ounces.
